The Tradegy - They Had To Be Forced To Do The Right Thing

And it is obvious many voted YES not because they believed it was the right thing to do but because they knew it would cost them votes. I wonder why Councilor McConnel didn't have the courage to stay and vote.....I guess she was following the leftist mantra when the going gets tough you retreat. BTW kudos to Worthington.

Now they show 'Support' Councillors unanimously extend campaign

Barraged by criticism, Mayor David Miller flip-flopped yesterday, leading a charge to allow city fire trucks and ambulances to indefinitely sport ribbon decals that signify support for Canadian troops.

Miller and 38 councillors voted unanimously at a council meeting yesterday to extend the ribbon campaign beyond September when it was to draw to a close.

In addition, Toronto's municipal politicians determined the police force should have the option of joining the campaign.

'IMPORTANT'

"I think that it's important, personally, that Canadians in every corner of this country support the men and women of the armed forces. the City of Toronto has always done that," said Miller, whose uncle served in the British and Canadian navies.
